I think you're probably right, but we're in a different era now. It's a different thing when you're a championship football team trying to stay on top as opposed to trying to get there. |

the simple fact of the matter is that if the line was a little better, we'd be better in the red zone, running the ball, and protecting Mahomes.
We can all argue about how much better, but it's clear that we could be more efficient in those areas. I doubt that a Center or Guard is worth a #1 this year, but I DO expect a little more emphasis on the line this offseason given all of the injuries this season. *by that I mean some mid-round picks as opposed to the usual late picks and UDFA's. |

Weren't we pretty interested in Cesar Ruiz last year? At least enough that the Saints were too scared to trade back and miss out on him.

It would be a terrible waste of resources for them to spend a 1st round pick on an interior offensive lineman. Championship teams aren't built that way. |

Personally, I'm leaning towards a DE in round one if there's a good fit. But in Veach I trust. |

I know, I know, that's not likely accurate, but that's hard to pass up. |

I thought the Chiefs would take a running back as early as #32 but with met with "**** that! The Chiefs need a guard or a center!".
If the Chiefs had taken a guard or center, there's not a chance in the world that they'd be 15-2 today. Quote:
People on CP used to complain that Brady was so good that the Patriots could just plug in anyone off the street and win Super Bowls but when the Chiefs are doing the same exact thing, people continue to bitch that the offensive line "isn't good enough". The game has changed completely. You don't need 5 1st rounders to protect a QB for 2.2 seconds. |

While I don't put any stock in to PFF, Wylie rated higher than Ruiz, which illustrates why the Chiefs continue to pass on IOL early in the draft. |
